It's been a nice 2 months with these wheels, but like every wheel set I've ever had, I'm already tired of them.

They're in absolute perfect condition still and never had the opportunity to hit the track with them. Daily driven and meticulously wasted and cleaned every 2 weeks since ownership. Wheels are 14lbs and are 1 piece FORGED in original Magnesium Blue.

Doubt you'll ever find a set like these anywhere.

I'm looking to SELL or TRADE for something of similar value.

If you want to trade, they must be 17's since I have to clear Stoptech Trophy brakes.

Priced to sell on these rare beauties is $1800. Just wheels with aluminum hubcentric rings, no TPMS or tires.

I should have predicted this and waited....love these shoes....I'm sure someone will pick them up and score the deal of the century!

i wish i have a bbk already so I can buy this! Might look funny with stock S brakes.

 

Nah it doesn't look awkward if you didn't have bbk. My CE28's went to my friend and he didn't have bbk either. Most Volks are non-bbk friendly.

What is the offset?

 

Woops, didn't see your post.

+42

 

Man, those are nice!!


If you don't mind, I have a few questions;
What do you think about the fitment on your MINI, in relation to the fender/wheel well/suspension?
What size tires are you running?
Do you have any side shots showing the fender relation to the wheels?


I would love these for my 09 PW/B JCW, but I'm not sure of the fit.
I'm assuming it will fit the Factory 316mm Brembo kit, being you have a BBK.

 

The offset is good, fitment is fine! I run spacers only to push it out, at most you'll need like a 5mm to clear your fJCW Brembo's. These wheels look best on black, and in your case, PW.

As for tires, I'm running 215/45/17, and it doesn't rub the fenders like the 225's I used to run. If you're getting the Walnut Shell Blasting done at my buddy's shop, let me know and I can try and make it out there so you can check them out in person. You can even mount a side on if you wanted.

 

i bought a set from ra2fanatic's friend and while there, i was able to fit it before leaving home.

So take that offer from ra2fanactic about fitment. He is good with his word.

 

My 2 cents on fitment... I run Volk SE37K 17x7.5 +42 with 215/45/17 Continental DW tires on my 2009 Clubman S with stock suspension and brakes and have tried 5, 10, and 12mm hubcentric spacers all around because I like to push the wheels out a bit.

With 12mm spacers I got occasional rubbing inside the rear black plastic fender, sort of around the 11 o'clock position hidden on the inside lip, over hard bumps when I had passengers. The rubbing actually diminished after a while after the fender wore in a little (no damage to the tires). The front was fine with 12mm spacers. With 5mm or 10mm spacers all around both the front and rear were fine. I believe there were no fitment issues with the suspension without spacers but I've never run it that way.

I am currently running 5mm spacers all around. My Mini also required an M14x1.25 to M12x1.5 stud conversion kit as it is a 2009 with M14 bolts and the wheels have 12mm holes. The photos are with 12mm spacers.

I also noticed that with tires mounted, if the wheels are off the car and laid down, the rear of the wheel will touch the ground, whereas the front will touch the rim protector (at least with the SE37K).

So the Volks fit great when used with 215/45/17 tires. You've got room to play.

 

Oh man, that sounds like a fantastic plan to me (however my better half still needs some convincing).
I'm already using a 5mm spacer for a better fender/wheel look anyway, so I have the 5mm spacer covered.
Regardless, I definitely need the Walnut Shell Blasting done, so I'll send you a Pm for the contact details.
... meanwhile I'll need to butter up my honey a bit regarding those "necessary" wheels. :-)


Thank you for your help!

 

Here is an advise for you..

create an emotional bank account. basically this can be anything and off course mula. One day..just say honey, let's get you some nice pair of shoes or Chanel purse..Afterward you can get away with murder.

So basically load up the emotional bank account, then bam..get toys and tell her. Trust me..it work.

Disclaimer, if it doesn't work out and your wifey beat the living daylight of you, i am no way responsible for it. Do it at your own risk!!!

 

bump!

Shared accounts are great, but wife and i have our own accounts too. Wheels aren't even in yet and she's already asking me what wheels I'll get next!!!

 

You don't have a slush fund account???

well at least she didn't chew u up for it..base on what she said, i can only assume you are clear for the next set Wink wink wink..

 

I don't need one! We have joint and separate accounts, I think that's good enough! I just have to say "I'm getting xyz" and she's fine with it. There's no fighting about it or pie chart presentation. lol

 

BUMP!!
